Fuel prices/crisis

[yellowperil]

Tomorrow, up here in Canada eh, gas is going up 8.5 cents/liter or about
38.5 cents a gallon. So now our liter costs $1.37/L. (about $6.25/gal) The meter on the pumps rolls over so fast even the dollar column is a bloody blurr. Crikey!!

What's fuel cost down south?? Can't be that bad. Have to start walking, I guess.

Your government should be selling that tar sands slag for the highest price on the world market. Domestically.
This would provide many dollars for health care.

3.46 per gallon here in Mid-Michigan. We were in Eastern MI today , near the border with Canada and it's was about 10 cents more per gallon which is typical.

About tree fiddy here..

6.25/us gallon for premium in Vancouver.
$100 to fill the 964.

Strange. the wholesale price in bozeman and billings is $2.67 gal, in portland it's $2.78, that's pretty cheap compared to the rest of the US.
Are you on the east end or west end of Canada?

I'm on the east coast (yellowperil) but (creaturecat) is in Van on the west and prices are the same. Someone suggested search google for best prices, but our
prices are set provincially with no variances. Shopping around is senseless as prices are the same province wide. We're canadian so we just put up with it, and try not to make a fuss. Big bro must know what he's doing, right?

No, he suggested google to answer the question you posed on this thread. "How much is gas down there?", or anywhere else, is 2 mouse clicks away. The internet is an amazing thing.

We're still about $3.6/ US gallon in jersey. But if you adjust for Ethanol it's much closer to $4/gallon of GASOLINE.

And there's a world oil glut. Go figure.

April Fools about Portland prices, I take it?

I've always thought people get really crazy over gas prices. Folks use these websites to find the cheapest gas in town, but never really consider how muh they're saving. 5 cents a litre difference between 2 stations would amount to $3 on a 60 litre fill-up. How much gas are you spending to get across town to save a few cents on gas? What's your time worth? Even at 10 cents per litre it's only $6 you're saving.

I filled up today with 100% gas. ZERO percent alcohol gas for $$3.49 a gallon The CNG is 99 cents a gallon. GNG is looking real good. There are 4 CNG stations with a couple miles of my daily commute.

Sorry guys not to "beat this horse to the death", but we should all start thinking about commuters cars, such as mine, more info in this thread Green Cars Have a Dirty Little Secret

In the next few years therewillbe quite a few nice halfton trucks that are already converted coming on to the market. They should get in the mid 20s and on 99/gge that ain't too shabby.

Sorry, but if the rest of the country would put in some filling stations, CNG is the answer right now. It's cheap, clean, and abundant. Pretty much any existing IC engine will run on it, and be able to switch back and forth with pump gas for extended range. Engines have very little wear on CNG due to it being a clean fuel. You change the oil in a CNG truck after 10k miles and it looks new....

And right now we have WAY more nat gas than we know what to do with. They are literally capping wells and letting them sit. They just burn it off of oil wells, because its worth so little.

I will continue to drive my 28 MPG 86 944 three seasons a year, and my 19 MPG 99 superduty 4x4 diesel the rest of the time because they are both paid for and run well. Yes, I could go out and spend $20,000 on a 42 MPG econo car that would be worth $15,000 less after 5 years of driving, or I could continue driving these vehicles that will be worth about the same 5 years from now, even with the added miles.

CNG problem is tank size and range. CNG cars have large tanks that reduce luggage/passenger room, or quite limited range.
